Geordie. It's one of the most bizarre, fascinating accents I know of. It's practically a different language.
Where the hell is Canadian?! And why is Irish there?! Our accents are awful!
Seriously though, Canada? Home of the best accents ever? How did that slip your mind?

As an American, I've always found British accents to sound badass and sophisticated (at least if spoken in a manly, Sean Connery-esque voice, even though Sean Connery is Scottish IIRC) in comparison to my bland American accent (at least from my perspective). I guess that's why aliens in fiction all have British accents while speaking english [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AliensOfLondon].
WRONG! I'm sorry but no.Skytterish said:
British does NOT include Ireland, can people please stop being so ignorant about it?
Also, there is no "Southern Ireland". It's Northern Ireland and The Republic of Ireland.
Fuck sake.
OT: Yeah, I quite like the accents we've got in The Republic of Ireland... At least, most of them.
English, I can switch back and forth between my American and Irish accents no problem, but I can't speak in a good English accent. It makes me very sad.
Does it seem like i'm trolling, i'm sorry, I was just wondering why the country with the best accents aren't on the list especially since the country with the worst accents is...The Becker said:
how can you 'british' and 'scottish', i know its a little Life Of Brian '..and welsh from swedish' but you mean 'english'. That is totally different.
Muppet.
OT is this these accents speaking english or what?

Irish, oh i love it. I'm not too keen on my NZ accent or upper class British accents, but that's for a totally different reason.
Russian, German, French, Nigerian. I like trying to mimic them, but Russian and French are the only ones I consider myself successful in.
I'm particularly fond of weird dialects that make little sense, like cockney or the french "verl'ans" where they flip words around.
Also I'm missing the afrikaans option. It sounds like real funky children speaking a blend of dutch and english.
